Hard Water in Burlington: Should You Install a Softener?

Burlington's water is moderately hard. Here is what that actually means. Halton Region water tests at roughly 120–140 mg/L hardness — moderately hard. That is enough to leave scale on glassware, shorten water-heater life, and reduce soap performance, but not so hard that a softener is mandatory. Signs you would benefit from a softener: chronic scale on faucets and shower heads, soap that won't lather, water-heater elements failing prematurely, or stiff laundry.
